Using bibliographic information management tools (such as ProQuest RefWorks, EndNote, Mendeley, Zotero), it is possible to collect and store bibliographic descriptions of information sources, as well as full-text documents or references to them. For scientists, researchers, and students these tools are useful to write scientific papers, insert cited sources into the text, automatically create reference lists based on the necessary citation style. In addition, using these tools, it is possible to organise sources by subject or other characteristics, and exchange accumulated information with colleagues or students.
ProQuest RefWorks and EndNote are paid tools.
Mendeley and Zotero are Open Access tools.
